Superman: The Last Son of Krypton, Issue 38

This was my first cover for Pendant; and I have to say I was nervous about this because this was my first real attempt at digital coloring. The shadows in the doorway were done by drawing a black line around the object, and then pulling it with the smudge tool. The gradient of the room was basically the same as the shadows except I used the blur tool instead of smudge.

I pretty much stayed as close as I could to Nat's suit design in the comics except I took out the metallic ponytail and I added shoulder guards to her armor because the shoulders felt naked and I didn't like the orange triangles for when the suit grows or shrinks.

As for the compilation, well it's more relevant than you realize. Keep listening to Last Son of Krypton and you'll understand why . . .

About the Artists

As the artists for the Pendant programs, it is our job to visually entice those whom just learn about the shows into listening. It is also our job to provide a strong image to coincide with the episode for newbies and veterans alike.

Collectively, the current artists have all been working with Pendant for close to 2-3 years, with more to join our ranks in the near future.
